Description: Participants will experience a collaborative lesson (designed for middle and high school grades) that involves the use of multiple apps and skills in a fully hands-on session. We will work on it together. We'll use Dotepub, iBooks, Safari, Lino, and Flipboard.
iBooks Resources Apps: Lino, Flipboard, iBooks, Adobe Acrobat ReaderYou will need to download these apps if you don't have them. You will also have to set up an account in the lino app (top left corner). You will also want to set up an account on the Flipboard app. Procedure:
Copy the code on the page (Be sure to get ALL of it)
Tap Bookmarks icon, then enter the Bookmarks Bar section.
Tap Edit (top right corner)
Tap arrow on the RIGHT edge of the Bookmark
Delete the url from the 2nd field, and PASTE in the copied code
Tap outside the box to have it save automatically
Try it. Tap that bookmark, now. (It's in your bookmarks bar) You SHOULD see "Conversion in Progress" and then it will ask if you wish to open in, or Open In iBooks. Choose the latter and Presto!
Here's a pdf to open in iBooks. 20 iPad Lesson Ideas. Note: You cannot make notes on PDF files in iBooks
NOTE: This does NOT always work. For example, some wordpress blogs seem to cause problems with it. Also, articles that span multiple pages that you must manually advance through.
Think/Pair/Share about this process and what it does to teaching and learning
Tap and drag your finger down along the left margin of the text you wish to highlight. As long as you don't lift your finger you can even select text across the page. Or, Double-tap to select a word, then drag the handles to include the desired text.
Tap the highlighted text to see your options. There you can change the note color. (The circle with the line through it will remove the highlight and note.)
Share your notes with me - jgates513 @ gmail.com (The videowill help with this)
Return to Table of Contents
Tap Notes tab
Tap Share icon in top RIGHT corner
Tap Edit Notes
Select the notes you wish to send (at least one, for now)
NOTE: You cannot always make notes in items in iBooks. For example, you cannot makes notes on PDFs that are opened in iBooks. Some other books prevent it due to copyright concerns. Don't assume it will always work.
Think/Pair/Share about this process and what it does for teaching and learning
DeBono's Six Thinking Hats:
Read (skim) the article and make notes
In your teams, post at least two notes (in your role's color) in the book
Matching Note color to Debono's Hats
White hat = Underlined note
Green hat = pale green note (2nd from the left)
Yellow hat = Yellow note (leftmost color)
Red hat = Pink note (3rd from the right)
Blue hat = Blue note (3rd from left)
Black hat = Purple note (2nd from the right)
Share the notes with the Blue Hat person via email. (One group will share their notes with me)
What are the different ways that you can share your findings?
Watch the streams for about two minutes. What did you learn?

Managing Workflow on the iPad
Description: In the middle and high school grades, students will be required, at some point, to create something on the Ipad and submit it to the teacher for a grade. In this hands on session, participants will create documents in various apps and we'll explore ways to submit them, score them, and return them. We'll also discuss how this process is different in cart vs 1:1 environment. To get signed up for our shared Dropbox account: Click here (http://goo.gl/qcsMh) to sign up for our dropbox folder. I will delete the folder after we're done with it.
